Description

The intuitive behaviour when working with projects on github is to make your own fork so that you can use the online interface (or GitHub for {windows,osx} apps).

One would assume that this behaviour was endorsed because of the ~130 forks to the ghc repo, however forking the repo actually causes ./sync-all to stop working (it asks for a username and password to whomever@ github.com). It seems the only way for a person to work with the project from github is to clone directly from the original repo.
